12,000m - ABS Harness caught on fire, luckily Honda replaced everything. I saved the car with a fire est.
15,000m - Front Brakes and rotors - silent recall.
--- recall on the transmission gear -- no issue with mine.
40,000m - Radio unit goes out.
Car cranks to get it to start, Honda advised its the fuel gauge regulator - when its actually the fuel injectors, which they won't replace.
I wrote American Honda about the fire and asked for a new car because I didn't trust the vehicle. They were NASTY about the whole situation.
I traded the piece of crap in last week. Will never own another Honda again. Refusal to recall things.
Car is not worth the hype.
Sounds like a pretty rare experience with Honda. Even more strange is '02 was the LAST year in that design cycle ('98-'02). It should have been bulletproof, but I do feel your pain. I've suffered with my Ford Focus ('00) to some degree. Hope you have much better fortune with your next car.
I totally agree with this review. My 2003 accord radio screen also went blank and my brakes were 90% Used up after just a year! Honda has quality problems too, and is it worth paying big bucks and 6.5% financing just to get one? I Don't THINK SO!! You should check out some other auto maker that doesn't rip off its customers.
